Should I give a recorded statement to the insurance company after my car or truck accident?

A:

No.  Whatever you do, don’t give the insurance company a recorded statement, no matter how nice they treat you after your accident.  This is one of the insurance company’s favorite tricks – they’ll be nice to you so you’ll cooperate with their investigation – with the goal of getting you to incriminate yourself.

This may sound hard to believe, but it is true.  Don’t give a recorded statement to the insurance company, and if you have questions please talk to a qualified personal injury attorney.  There are a number of tricks that insurance companies use to protect their bottom line.

What are they expecting in a recorded statement?  They are hoping that you will say something that can later be used against you.  This is why it is so important to have an experienced and preferably board certified lawyer on your side.
